Uninstalling Broadband Access Center

This chapter describes how you can uninstall Broadband Access Center (BAC).

Note You cannot uninstall the RDU and the DPE separately. Both components are uninstalled together.

The uninstallation program removes all files under the installation directory (the default installation directory is /opt/CSCObac). It also shuts down and removes these processes if they are detected: RDU, SNMP Agent, Tomcat, Watchdog, and DPE.

The uninstallation program does not remove files that were placed outside the installation directory. For example, a component installation places the database and database transaction logs directories under /var/CSCObac. These files must be manually removed. (Subsequent sections describe how to delete these files.) But, if you choose to install the home, data, and database transaction log directories in the same location, the uninstallation program warns you that continuing the uninstallation will remove the data and log files.

Should the program fail to uninstall BAC, error messages appear.
